Check out these tidbits about family and work over the past week or so.

Vicki had some exams done last week, the results of which we’re supposed to call about today. Medical exams generate concern, so we’re praying for good news.

My seminar in Prazeres weekend before last was well received, and I came back with a bad sunburn. Today, the peeling phase.

This past weekend was the National Encounter for Christian Workers; I went Friday only and heard four good lessons from Brazil brethren. A sour note: they had a two-man praise team leading, and at one point one of them extolled how essential new songs and praise teams were to a congregation’s “praise” (= singing).

This is actually the first time I’ve read your report online. It’s good to hear of the good work you are doing. My wife and I will pray that you and your family continue to meet with good success in the work in Brazil. If you have time, could you give me an idea how much it would cost for a short term (two weeks or less) work trip there? Do you encourage that sort of thing? They do it a lot with the work our congregation sponsers in the south Pacific.

Thanks, Steve, we especially appreciate your prayers. Basically, to come here, it’s the price of airfare from your location (near Atlanta?) to Sao Paulo. Depending on time of year, it might be between $900-1000 or more. Once you get here, we take care of you. We’re just less than an hour from the Sao Paulo (Guarulhos) airport.

We’re always happy to have people come for a work trip. Here, the situation is a bit different, but we can always use the extra help, assuming you can teach and preach.

We’ve had a number of people to come, such as Mike Benson and Kevin Cauley, whom you may know of. Usually, they have a series of lessons, seminar or theme for classes.
